I did so because I thought those, along with a set of new Eibachs I picked up several months ago would fit my 95 SE V6. When I took it took a tire/suspension shop they said "won't work the spring supports are different". Anyone out there with ideas or info? tanks mike

From what I understand, if you get the ST200s, you have to get 98+ springs. If the eibachs you got were for pre98s, then it may not work. Then again, I could be wrong--it's been known to happen.

They will wear out much quicker and not perform up to their abilities due to the change in rebound & ride height. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

They work very well together getting it aligned after it settled. 96 LX/Sport Roush/ST200 Pro-Flow KKM w/Heatshield Bat Pipe SVT TB,UIM,LIM,Brakes http://www.cardomain.com/id/lxsport
